Field tests of a new complex preparation for wheat

The natural compounds that are widely spread in the plant kingdom have a common name bioflavonoids (BF). These unique objects embody three organic matters -micronutrients, medicaments and biologically active additives (BAD) [3].

MATERIALS AND RESEARCH METHODS

The experimental work was conducted in the industrial experiment on the base of Closed Joint-Stock Company "Beryozki", in the agricultural plants biotechnology center in the OrelSAU. The germination and productivity of winter wheat variety Moscovskaya was investigated 39. The seeds of wheat were soaked in the solution of the complex preparation for 1 hour together with the chemical preparation "Vinsit SK." The presowing seed treatment with preparations and seed treatment in combination with plant spraying were done. The plot area in the industrial experiment took 1 ha. In the control the wheat was not treated with complex preparation, plants were treated with microfertilizer "Intermag profi." In the experimental variant plants were treated with a complex preparation on the basis of buckwheat bioflavonoids in a concentration of 1 * 5-10% without treatment with microfertilizers. In the control and in the experimental variant plants were treated with the preparations together with the herbicide "Dialen Super VR" [2].

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The research results showed that using a complex preparation on the basis of buckwheat bioflavonoids proved to be highly effective when spraying winter wheat plantings. The reliable increase in yield as compared with the control (the plantings are not treated) was obtained. A higher increase in yield was observed when using the preparation in a concentration of 1 × 10 -5%, which amounted 6.7 hwt/ ha, that is by 12% higher than the control variant (Table 1).

On the experiment results the production test certificate was drawn up and signed by the chief agriculturist and the head of the Closed Joint-Stock Company "Beryozki". The protective and stimulating composition of a complex preparation positively influenced the laboratory and field germination of winter wheat seeds. Thus, the laboratory germination increased by 7%, and the field one - by 2.7%.

Table 2 - The effect of a complex preparation on the seed germination and intensity of growth processes in winter wheat in the industrial experience

The use of a complex preparation decreased the chemical load on plants by stopping plantings treatment with microfertilizer "Intermag profi." The use of a complex preparation does not negatively influence the action of the herbicide "Dialen super-VR".

Table 3 - The economic efficiency of seed treatment of winter wheat with a complex preparation (in the prices of 01.09.2012)

The economic efficiency calculation showed high recoupment of costs of seed treatment with the protective stimulating preparation. A conditionally net income from the use of the preparation, when calculating per the cost of fodder grain of winter wheat amounted 2710 rub/ha and more.

CONCLUSION

Spraying the winter wheat crops with an aqueous solution of a complex preparation on the basis of buckwheat bioflavonoids together with herbicides is an effective method of providing grain yield increase of 6.7 hwt/ha and net income increase by 2710 rub/ha as compared with the application of only herbicide "Dialen super-VR" and microfertilizer "Intermag profi". The research showed that spraying with a complex preparation is possible together with herbicides, as it will allow to decrease the number of treatments and the impact of farm machinery on the soil.
